Beauty tip: Smooth those dry heels, rough feet


Posted July 22, 2011 by Linda Miller Comment on this article Leave a comment

Flip-flops and sandals expose a lot – especially rough, cracked and dry heels. Let’s just say it’s not pretty.

It takes some effort to keep feet baby soft when you walk around barefoot indoors and out. Your feet take a beating.  Here’s a tip from nail polish guru Deborah Lippman and InStyle.

“Use a callous remover like Get Off Callous Softner ($29; at nordstrom.com), followed by a pumice or scrub to slough off dry skin,” Lippmann says.  “Soles become dry from the sand and salt; apply moisturizer before and after hitting the beach.”

Not liking that $29 price tag? Here are a few less-expensive products to help keep your feet soft, smooth and moisturized:

* Dr. Scholl’s for Her Rough Skin Eraser Liquid Exfoliant exfoliates rough, dry skin without harsh abrasives. About $6.50 at drug and discount stores.

* Dr. Scholl’s for Her Ultra Overnight Foot Cream softens tough skin overnight. About $7 at drug stores and discount chains.

* Foot Miracle Therapeutic Cream has a deep penetrating formula for rough callused, hard-to-soften feet. About $8 at Sally Beauty.

* Gena Pedi Care Sloughing Lotion packed with botanical ingredients to help exfoliate dead skin cells and hydrate and smooth feet. About $6 at Sally Beauty.

* H2O Plus Pumice Foot Scrub with menthol to cool and comfort feet. $15 at Ulta.
